I’ve been hearing this claim a lot lately, in various forms, and it’s a little bit unsettling. “Elementary is great, if you just forget that his name is Sherlock.” “He just seems like a clever guy whose name happens to be Sherlock.” “I’m just not feeling Sherlock Holmes from this character.”

…

Thank you. From my the bottom to the top of my heart I thank for this explanation of why Elementary doesn’t feel like Sherlock Holmes. This is a modern version meaning it should be the same. It should be different. I don’t care if people think that mean it should be better or not. I think it should be different than the traditional and that is what it is. People are expecting something they are not going to get.
